Flotsam and Jetsam - Recover
****1/2
Will we be able to 'Recover' from the new Flotsam and Jetsam album?
I don't know if I can 'Recover' from how good the new track from the mighty Thrash Metal veterans Flotsam and Jetsam is. The track is full of passion, and one of the best they have produced. Even though the passion doesn't translate to something new, the track stands out on it's own. 'Recover' is a extremely impressive song, and the production is top notch.
'Recover' is taken from the bands upcoming album 'The End of Chaos' which is due out early next year, and is an album I just can't wait for. Every member of the band on every track, gives 100% and you can hear that on every bar. Still the lingering thoughts of other songs similar come to mind, and the track makes me think of good times gone by.
If this band played to their strengths the true power of the band would always shine through, the vocals and drums are what really drive this band. They shine through like a burning star crashing down around you, so beautiful but devastating at the same time. Eric 'AK' Knutson absolutely destroys the vocals on 'Recover', and this is what made instantly fall in love with this song.
There isn't a note that is off-key, on this record and Steve Conley and Michael Gilbert play respectively well, while Michael Spencer actually stands out on bass... which is rare for this genre. Ken Mary is what sold this band to my ears. He is on point, plays hard, and plays like its the last gig he will ever play, every song. If you want to hear some amazing drumming, this is your album. If you want to hear amazing music, this might do it too. I look forward to this release of the new album 'The End of Chaos' four days after my birthday on January 18th, 2019.
